Face it. If you have a large group of people to buy Christmas presents for year in and year out, it can be difficult coming up with gift ideas. But there is one present that everyone on your list will absolutely love. And that is a personalized custom wood sign. Here's 3 reasons why these will be a hit on anyone gift giving list!

Reason number 1 is that people love to see their names on things. For some people, this can be their first names and for others it might be their last names. If you have a common last name like Jones or Smith, then buying a generic product as a gift for them may not be a good idea. But buy a sign with their first and last names on it, and you have a hit!

There are many ways you can customize a sign for people with common last names. One that I like to do is to carve their last names in large fonts and then below that carve in their first names in a different font. I have yet to see anyone disappointed with a sign like this!

Reason number 2 why personalized custom carve signs make for a perfect Christmas gift is because it makes the person receiving the gift feel special. And isn't that what all of us want to do? Isn't that the reason we all give gifts in the first place? If it isn't, then maybe we need to rethink the reason we give gifts in the first place!

You know this to be true as well. Just think back to a time when you received a personalized gift. It made you feel special didn't it? Something about seeing your name on a product gave you that warm and fuzzy feeling deep inside. It told you that someone went to a lot of trouble to get you a special gift. One meant for you and no one else!

A custom carved wooden sign can do the same thing! Not only is it special because you took the time to order it, it's special because they look terrific. Most will have exposed grain that jumps off the wood.

By adding a saying like, "The love of a family is life's greatest blessing," you can create a focal point over a fireplace or combine the saying with a photo wall to set a warm, loving tone for the entire family that all will admire. Create a little humor and fun for a bathroom with "Splish, Splash, I was Takin' a Bath" or lighten the load in the laundry room, using a quote such as, "When I said I do, I didn't mean laundry."

Vinyl lettering and decals are one of the most versatile and affordable options for decorating your home or office. You can capture favorite quotes and sayings to set the tone for any environment, from the laundry room to the boardroom.

Available in over 60 colors, vinyl wall decor can transform any room depending on the mood you want to create. For example, when used in a nursery or child's room, you can add an easy to install growth chart or a quote such as, Sometimes it is the smaller things in life that take up the most space in your heart, or Butterfly Kisses and Ladybug Hugs. The options are truly endless!

From romantic to humorous or inspirational to religious, wall lettering adds your own personal flair to any room of your home. Avoid the pitfalls of painting wall quotes and wall art, which tend to have rough edges, can drip, and are messy to clean up. Installation of vinyl wall art is so simple it takes just minutes to complete.

The versatility of vinyl decor uses does not stop at home. A wall quote such as a mission statement or inspirational quote can help set the tone in the office, too. Pearl S. Buck said, To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth, and Albert Einstein stated, Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. No limitations exist on the message or messages you use to motivate your workplace team members.

You can get house signs personalized, for instance if there are particular colors you and your family like or a certain pattern or design you want included on it.

More often, the wooden painted name signs will be a wonderful choice for present. Although, there are many of them available in the stores, it will add more meaning and personality if you make it all by yourself. Nowadays, it is becoming very popular for parents to make wooden name signs for the little babies. If you are interested in painting, you may have a try. The following guide will give you some help.

Firstly, you are required to find a table and you should also do some preparations for the work you are going to do. The table you choose should be large enough for you to put all the tools and materials. And it should also be cleaned beforehand so that the material will not be made dirty. You may also need to find some clean cloth or newspaper and then put them on the table. You may also need to prepare some necessary tools include disposable foam brush and gloves. And you may also need to select a wooden stencil.

Secondly, you should do some basic thing for better preparation. You should buy shellac-based primer which can be available at the local stores. And then, put some of them on the wood to seal it. It may take you some time to wait for it to become dry. After the wood completely become dry, you may use the sandpaper to make the wooden sign sanded. After that, you may use a clean cloth to make the sign clean.

The last but not the least, you should paint the sign twice and try to make it perfect. You should paint the sign with the color you like and repeat for a second time so that it will create a better result. Then, you may make stenciling letters on the paper and then do it on the wood with the help of these stenciling letters. You must be careful not to make the wet paint be smudged.

The most important purpose of a sign is delivering a message. It takes a whole lot more than throwing a bunch of letters on a panel and hoping folks will see it. A completed sign is really a composition. Whether it's any good or not depends on four critical factors: Balance, Rhythm, Oneness, and Harmony.

For balance a good sign must be pleasing to the eye. It is the weight distribution that is considered first. It's not necessarily done symmetrically; rather, a well-balanced sign composition is optically effective and has a stability of sorts in the arrangement of the copy in relation to each of the other elements. There is a lot which is involved in this judgment for the competent sign writer - the amount of copy, any illustrations or supporting images, letter styles, and certainly what the sign is supposed to do; advertise, sell, welcome, etc. Also, how far will it the sign be viewed from and how fast will the viewer be traveling, if at all. When the customer brings the sign writer copy that looks like a newspaper ad and doesn't allow any freedom for the professional to edit believing every word is essential there is often no hope for achieving a balance in the sign's layout.

Rhythm is what many signs lack due the sign writer's judgment in selecting too many letter styles in the same work. Aesthetically speaking, most signs look best when only one or two letter fonts are incorporated. Often modest variations of a font can be introduced to reduce rhythm interference when bringing impact and interest; however, too many styles of lettering on one sign visually distressing.

Oneness is when signs that have several groups of copy or messages and the viewer's eye smoothly follows the flow of the message from the primary message on to the secondary and finally onto the most subordinate. It can be achieved, or at least enhanced, by dividing the three messages and creating emphasis using reverse panels, bolding and other emphasis techniques.

Harmony is nothing more that incorporating the first three elements with discipline - balance, rhythm and oneness. Without being sensitive to copy grouping, letter styles and things like coloring no layout will be achieved that has harmony. A perfect example of this is in the use of borders. Often borders on signs are completely unnecessary and only serve to distract the eye instead of supporting a certain style of letter. This is especially true when the border is excessively strong or of strong color. In the case of borderless signs, it is the flow of the graphics, shapes and lettering styles which provide the design and unity, balanced with uninterrupted harmony.
